Video Games

Grim. Powerful. Dark. Steeped in a dank tea of Norse Mythology and set in an astonishing world. The game is basically your standard quest and story with puzzle solving and combat . BUT it is just flawlessly executed.

The portrayal of the main character is amazing, the writing and voice acting in this thoroughly deserve their BAFTAs. I have never seen something as serious and profound as mental illness so deftly and brilliantly addressed. The theme of psychosis is integrated into everythingl; the world, the story, the puzzles and even combat (the multiple voices in your head give you pointers in combat!)

I am maybe about halfway through...

This will be a game that I will be loathe to finish simply because it will be over. Personally, I couldn't really replay it because the emotional impact will all be gone after the first play through.

As I child I played Pong on a cabinet in the late 1970s and have been a gamer ever since. This game is utterly unique. Astonishing. Really, really astonishing.
